PSA - decent looking fees right now

Mempool fees looking good rn. My definition of ‘good’ has changed... a lot. https://mempool.space

Seen… “Fun fact: Bitcoin v0.1 would not allow mining if it was alone on the network to prevent early chainsplit. Therefore all the blocks Satoshi found were while other peers were online. We can correlate block 1 with Hal starting to play with Bitcoin.” Happy Birthday Bitcoin 🎈🎁🎂

Thoughts and hopes for 2024… nostr:npub1k6rrkx80gkhxe9ycd5rpcjsaynf7034wvauffn928tqg5z0p2ekqhjx6lp #endwar #bitko https://www.Biko.cc

For the Pleb home heating miners I found a nice 24”x16”x10” metal box from Vevor that fits an S19 nicely. The box has nice door seals and looks clean when installed. The primary goal was to provide some level of fire protection and secondarily to reduce noise - especially the high pitch PSU fan noise. A zip wheel in the grinder quickly cut out the ductwork holes (a hacksaw and drill would work too) then metal foil tape was used to secure the ductwork and cover the sharp edges of the power supply & ethernet hole. An old exercise mat and some foam along with leftover styrofoam from the Vevor box packaging was cut down (and wrapped in foil tape) to help provide a cold/hot air barrier. An air filter was also cut down and added to the intake side. Some redi-rod was cut to length and four holes drilled into the top of the box to allow it to hang from the ceiling. BTW the box comes with other hardware to bolt it to a wall if your install allows. Note: the 6” ducting and 6” Cloudline fan from a previous S9 build is a bit small for the S19. At 2200 watts and with the Cloudline running at 100% the S19 factory fans run at 45% (this gives 84TH/s, 60c chips, and ~25W/Ths). By far, most of the noise is the Cloudline fan. The PSU can’t be heard anymore. I’m sure an 8” fan (or bigger?) for extraction/ventilation would lower the noise but check the dimensions of the box to make sure it will fit.

An open thank you to all bitcoiners. I had to stop listening to a podcast from Hidden Forces today. It finally recognized it for what it was - the same doom and gloom it always has been… "The West is failing, government is failing, society is failing etc”. No answers, just more identification of the failure. Definitely not any solutions there. I switched over to my list of bitcoin podcasts. More nostr:npub1hrnt73hppyc5v9h7ynnv0cn90yd97t6we9dw32s46ug845jsm33sktjsct , nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe , nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z Pysh... and even nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx - yes even Pedro. Why? Because there is a hope in bitcoin. Maybe that is partly because we seem to have turned the corner on the bear market but mostly because bitcoiners are optimistic, building and moving forward. Devs are creating new apps and fixing and improving old ones. Bitcoin philosphers are, well philosophizing (looking at your nostr:npub1mz704n7dsaw3jcj3kr5le45n97tqughyt5lxe3yv3xy3025hv3dsp5tl8g , nostr:npub1jdwujjpaxmeyg44fz5xa87yhtrnvg8lzqnv9hprk5sdkx6h58gjqwtujzl and Parker Lewis to name a few). Meetups are getting bigger and more people are taking their first steps into the bitcoin network. Meanwhile the Plebs are out educating and orange pilling every day. Bitcoiners are hopeful and optimistic. We know there are problems - we’ve identified a host of them and we are working to fix what we can. Sure we might be bickering over what hardware wallet is truly FOSS, bitching about ordinals and debating mining protocols. But we are building and moving forward anyway. Jeff Booth is right - there is no point in living in the old world. You simply feed it by engaging with it. Even listening to the old world is tiresome. I’ve moved into the new world, a world with Bitcoin and I don’t ever want to go back. Burn the boats.

Hi signal to noise ration, worth the listen. “Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Bitcoin privacy expert BitcoinQnA. This semi-advanced conversation (start with earlier episodes with QnA for beginner info) covers many topics pertaining to the nature of Bitcoin and strategies for making it more private. They cover the recent blockchain clog with ordinals and how to get around it, fulcrum servers, Nostr, getting started with the Lightning Network, using derivation paths, Bitcoin ATMs, JoinMarket, coin control, mixing to hardware wallets, and updates on Foundation Devices.” https://youtu.be/ztHq8YXpw9I

MSM worldwide is loosing their shit and headlining all the “freak-out” words they can find for Milei’s win... “radical”, “far-right”, “right-winger” and “Trump-admiring”. Congrats on the election - wishing Argentina the best.
